Chesterton on the Inequity of the World

“I mean that we here are on the wrong side of the tapestry. The things that happen here do not seem to mean anything; they mean something somewhere else. Somewhere else retribution will come on the real offender. Here it often seems to fall on the wrong person.”

Bryana, I found your blog through a Twitter post, and I’ve been captivated. I’ve read the whole of it, with a smile stretched wide! I am a new Charlotte Mason homeschooling mom. We are learning to capture the wonder of God’s creation in new ways, learning how to narrate, practicing patience. While I know I stumble and fall flat in my efforts in this gentle atmosphere and way of life, I can see growth, which is all grace.

I’ve added you to my blogroll. Besides being splendidly written, it will serve as great encouragement as we keep at this. Thank you!

I have lived in too many places and I'm homesick for the Far Country. I like thunderstorms, painting, calligraphy, fairytales and noisy crowds of children, and I write about literature, the good life, and the World’s Great Lover. In my spare time, I create calligraphy and illustrations celebrating literary masterpieces. You can find my work in my Etsy shop or request a custom order.
